I haven't forgotten about this...

I know it's been forever since my last post, but I figured that last one was long enough to hold you over for a while.  No, actually, I've just been super busy trying to make myself study for finals.  Note the way I phrased that sentence.  It seems that the only time during the whole semester that I feel like cleaning my room is when I should be studying for finals.  Here is a picture of my room from last semester:

Believe it or not, my room actually looked even worst than that when I started cleaning this afternoon!  The floor is a rare sight in my bedroom.  When Josh comes to visit, he usually clears a path from the door to the bed, which is a treat for me since I usually just vault onto my bed from the door.  Anyway, instead of studying for my organic chemistry, global earth systems, and physics exams, I proceeded to clear the clutter out from under my bed, dust my bookshelf, and load all my spare change into my new piggy bank.  Oh, and I made up my bed and designed makeshift tie-backs for my curtains.  I swear, I'm never more creative and artistic than when I have a million other more important things I should be doing!

I so wish I felt like cleaning and creating when I didn't have SN1 and SN2 mechanisms to memorize and carbon cycling to summarize!  Although, I think it might disappoint people if they visited me expecting to see all my personal belongings strewn about, just to find an organized, tidy living space sans personality...but then again, maybe not.  I used to pay my brother to clean my closet, and I've bribed a few of my friends to help me organize my room, but it's such a huge job that even hours of focused work makes but a small dent in the monstrous pile of clothes and debris that blankets my room.  I've just accepted my wreck of a room as one of my less endearing personality traits :)

Alas, I must get back to studying.  I had been working rather diligently before I turned my computer on to check my email, after which I logged on here and couldn't resist to type a "quick" post.  Another thing I must accept about myself:  I am never short-winded.
